THE REASON WHY.

Ny son, there's nothing on earth
so mysteriously funny as a news
paper advertisement. The prime,
first, last and all the time object OF
an advertisement is to draw custom.
1t is not, what not, and never will
be designed for any other human
purpose. So the merchant waits
till the busy season comes and his
store is so full ofcustom he can't get
his hat off and then he rushes to the
newspapers and puts in his adver-
tisement. When the dull season gets
along and there is no trade and he
wants to sell goods so bad he can't
paw his rent, he takes out his adver-
tisement. That is, some of them do,
but occasionally leyel-headed mer-
chant puts in a bigger one and scoops
all the business, while his neighbors
are making mortgages to pay the
gas bill. There are times when you
couldn't stop people from buying
everything in the store if you plant
ed cannon behind the door, and
that's the time the advertisement is
sent out on its holy mission. 1t
makes light work tor the advertise
ment, for a chalk sign on the side
walk could do all that was needed
and have half holiday six
days in the week, but who wants to
favor an advertisement. They are
built to do hard work. and should be
sent out in the dull days when Gus
toner has to be knocked down with
hard facts, and kicked insensible,
with bankrupt reductions and drag
ged in with irresistible slaughter of
prices before he will spend cent.
That's the aim and end of an adj
vertisement, my son, and if you ever
open store don't try to get them
to come when they are already stick
ing out or the windows, but give
them your advertisement right be-
tween the eyes in the dull season,
and you will wax rich and own a
fast horse, and perhaps be able to
smoke good cigar once or twice
year. Write this down where you
will fall over it every day. The time
to draw business is when you want
business, and not when you have
more business than you can attend
to already Bridgeport Post.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN We
have tonight met upon one of those
occasions that occur in the course of
human life, and which, when they
come, always touch the heart and IN
terest the mind. They are, indeed,
not rare, and yet, like the birth, the
marriage, and death ola human being,
are events in which all are interested,
and their influence upon the misery
or happiness of those who pass
through them calls out the sympa-
thy of all who have partaken or ex-
pect to undergo the same important
experiences.
Shakespeare has pictured the pro-
gress of the human being, from the
pulling babe in it's nurses arms to
the lean and slippered pantaloon of
extreme old age, and has divided the
period embraced in this history into
seven stages, which have become IA
miliar, by reason of the vivid accu-
racy of their portraiture, to every
person who reads the English Ian
guage. That great writer, however,
confines himself in this remarkable
passage to the male half of the hui
man race, and only alludes to the
better half by describing the child,
in the earliest stage, as borne in the
arms of the nurse.
1t is rather remarkable that no fe-
male genius has attempted to give
similar emblematical representation
of the progress of her sex from the
cradle to the grave. l am very sure
that it is not for want of capacity to
do it, nor because the subject could
not be made as interesting as that of
the other sex. Perhaps this sug-
gestion may stimulate some one to
attempt the half of the story untold
by Shakespeare.
We are met here to witness the
closing exercises of a years instruc-
ton in the Norwood Institute for
young ladies. We who are older
have the memoirs Of our younger
days and ofsimilar scenes revived by
these pleasant surroundings and the
presence of the classes which consti-
tute the pupils of this institute. We
are especially interested in the young
ladies who have just received their
diplomas, the certified evidence of
their scholarship and attainments, of
their good conduct and behavior dur
ing the period since their entrance
here, covering some four or five
years, and of the commentator
which they have won from the teach.

This event is one in which the pu-
pills in the junior classes are antici-
pating with great interest the time
when they shall take part in the
same performance. 1t is one which
fills, or ought to fill to a very con-
siderable extent, the minds and
hearts of all who enter this school,

daughter, who is member of my
family, and has been both boarder
and day scholar in the Institute,
which is within hundred yards OF
my house, is one of the graduates up
on this occasion. And however |
might be mistaken in regard to the
intellectual attachments of the stu
dents in this school, which | venture
to say, however, is of the highest
character, i cannot be mistaken in
the affectionate and tender care dis
played by Mr.. and Mrs. Cabell in the
management of their pupils, the good
nature and kindness of all the facul-
ty OF teachers, and the interest which
they have manifested in the young
ladies committed to their care
trust that the steady growth OF
the Norwood Institute, In the num-
Der of its pupils and in its represen-
tative character, will continue until
it occupies the position which all its
friends desire for it. know ofno
school for young ladies whose di-
plomas commands, even now, a high
er respect that Norwood Institute.
And now, with my warmest and
most heartfelt good wishes for the
future happiness of these young la
dies who tonight leave the school

for the successful graduation of
those still younger who remain, in
